GE and NFL declare Head Health Challenge winners

Fairfield-based General Electric and the National Football League announced 16 winners in stage one of the $20 million Head Health Challenge. Winners ranged from Missoula, Mont., to Israel. Their projects included a blood test that would rapidly measure traumatic brain injury and a brain- imaging technique that would find broken connections in the brain after an injury. Winners are receiving a $300,000 award to advance their work to speed diagnosis and improve treatment for mild traumatic brain injury. The entities will also provide mentorship, access to GE researchers and industry experts with the chance for up to six of the awardees to win another $500,000 in 2015.
